December ALREADY?

We have our tree!  It's black with silver glitter tips and red ornament balls.  I wanted to do something completely different this year.  One of the nice things about basically starting over.  The tree matches the apartment decor.  Something else I would not have picked if I was back home.  I likey tho!

I'm also done with my Christmas shopping!  The first time ever that I am done this early.  I wasn't sure what mall traffic was like here in Singapore.  I HATE crowds!  I spent a boat load of cash on the kids presents.  Prices are twice what they are in the U.S.  Now I need to wrap everything, which isn't THAT much.  I also need to send out my Christmas cards.  $1.80 per card plus another $1 to mail.  JEEEZ!  Not sending that many this year AND I'm adding multiple names to one card.  Nothing is CHEAP here!

The boys have one more week of school then they are off for three whole weeks!  I hope I can handle it!  It's a safe bet to say that Josh will be at the restaurant 24/7!
